Organic Herbicide

Organic herbicide: a natural alternative

Organic Herbicides

Ingredients include concentrated d- limonene, clove oil, cinnamon oil, vinegar, and citric acid. These herbicides are non-selective and non-systemic, meaning any plant sprayed will be affected, and they kill the above surface foliage of plants.

Non-Selective

Synthetic herbicides can "select" which types of plants the chemicals will effect. Organic herbicides cannot do this and so are "non-selective."

Non-Systemic

Synthetic herbicides go into the system of plants, organic herbicides do not, and so are "non-systemic."

Note to Certified Organic Farmers: While we do our best to stay current with product OMRI listings, be sure to check with your certifying organization for a current list of approved (or banned) products.
